With Xu He's guidance, Zhang Jingxian, a Wenchen, finally had an idea.

To be honest, Zhang Jingxian is actually very shrewd, but he is a traditional literati, and he has been reading and writing books before, and he is familiar with officialdom.

was assigned to this position, he hadn't read a few military books, how did he know how to arrange the soldiers and horses in his hand?

Xu He can be said to have given him a lesson on the map homework by hand.

In fact, it's not just the map, Xu He has basically been to these places.

They also recorded the geography of the local mountains and rivers in their own booklets, and when they came to use, they were handy.

Two days later, Xu He was still teaching Li Sikui and Zhang Sanrang to read at home, and Wu Decao, who had come back for a while, hurriedly ran in.

"Loud voice, Lord Zhang sent his own soldiers to invite you to him, it seems to be in a hurry!"

The two little guys stopped reading the book when they heard it, and they all looked up at Xu He.

Xu He frowned and said, "Who told you to stop?" ”

He said, "King, people seek to hear more, and when they only build things, they learn from the ancient teachings." Things are not learned from the ancients, and they will live forever, and the bandits will not be heard. ”

The sound of reading in the study sounded again.

Xu He saw that they had no problem reading, so he put down the book he was reading and got up and said, "You go on, I have memorized the full text of "Saying Destiny" today, and I will check it when I come back!" ”

After saying that, he got up and went out.

Wu Decao saw that Xu He was silent all the way and didn't speak, so he asked in a low voice: "Liangsheng, there have been rumors of war recently, is it this matter?" ”

Xu He smiled: "It's a little bit of a wave, but it doesn't really matter!" ”

"Then should we move our family to Yangzhou?" Wu Decao asked.

Xu He smiled and didn't speak......

As soon as he walked into the lobby of the Yamen of Haiphong Road, he saw Zhang Jingxian looking at him with amazement.

"Liangsheng, you guessed it, in the eight hundred miles that you just arrived today, the thieves outside Yingtianfu were scattered, and countless banner armor staff were seized by the Qinhuai River!"

Xu He's spirit was shocked when he heard this: "Then do you understand where the main force of the Lotus Sect has gone?" ”

Zhang Jingxian sighed: "These people are too cunning, they took advantage of the night to bypass the Caojiang army stationed in Ogigang, and they didn't know how to get to the north shore!" ”

If it is really as he guessed, the other party wants to reach Hefei quickly, and he must take the mud and sand river.

So the question is, how did the White Lotus Sect cross the river, and where did the boats on the muddy river come from?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Su Shaoguang's shadow in his mind.

"From this point of view, this action of the White Lotus Sect has been planned for a long time!" Xu He sighed in his heart.

The news was two days ago, and now whether Hefei has been captured or has received the news, it is still unknown whether this wave of sneak attacks has been held.

At this time, Zhang Jingxian had completely regarded Xu He as his think tank: "The situation has developed to this point, can we breathe a sigh of relief?" ”

Xu He shook his head: "My lord, if it is according to my previous guess, now is the most dangerous time!" ”

Zhang Jingxian was stunned, the most dangerous time?

Now that everything is calm, where is the danger?

"My lord, it's not good!" Suddenly, a soldier of Zhang Jingxian hurriedly broke in.

When Zhang Jingxian heard this voice, he was so shocked that the tea cup fell on the case with a "hammer", and the tea spilled made all his regular clothes all over.

He didn't care about the tea staining his clothes, and stared at the man: "What's wrong?" ”

"I just received the news from Wolf Mountain, Wang Qianhu ...... Gone! ”

"Ah~"

"What?"

Zhang Jingxian and Xu He stood up in shock at the same time and glared at the pro-soldier.

The soldiers were so frightened that they trembled and said: "Wang Qianhu is gone, just at the foot of Wolf Mountain, it is a widow, and the widow boat that covers the sky and the sun is not visible at a glance on the river!" ”

"As soon as our Hailing soldiers arrived at the foot of Wolf Mountain, before they were stationed, the Japanese invaders landed on the shore! Wang Qianhu hurriedly responded to the battle, but there were too many Japanese robbers, and only an hour later, the men and horses were scattered, and only afterwards did he find that Wang Qianhu had been shot more than a dozen times, and his body was full of holes! ”

When Zhang Jingxian heard this, he only felt that the world was spinning, his hands and feet were cold, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Xu He was next to him, and he took two steps to sit on the chair!

When he sat down, Xu He immediately asked the soldier: "What about the gang of Changzhou Qianhu?" The Hailing soldiers have just arrived, what about them? Did you watch the Japanese go ashore? ”

The soldiers cried and said: "Gu Qianhu, he, he left his soldiers and horses and fled!" ”

"Bang", Zhang Jingxian slapped his palm on the big case and scolded angrily: "Thief, thief, if he can escape from the Japanese cowards, can he still escape the law of the country?" Where are the others now? ”

The pro-soldier said: "No, I don't know! ”

Zhang Jingxian was about to speak, but Xu He preemptively said, "Where is the thief now?" ”

"When I came yesterday, the thieves had already broken through Tongzhou and looted!"

When Zhang Jingxian heard this, he sat on the chair dejectedly, looked up to the sky and sighed, and after a while, two lines of turbid tears rolled down and said: "Thief, thief, I swear that I will kill Gu Qingheng to comfort the people of Tongzhou!" ”

Although Xu He was also sad in his heart, he was not as depressed as Zhang Jingxian, he focused on more practical issues.

"Didn't your lord set up a cruising ship at the sea gate? Why didn't so many Japanese invaders notify Tongzhou in advance? ”

"There is no news from the prepared Japanese boat, and the Japanese are directly killed in Wolf Mountain!"

When Xu He heard this, he was horrified.

He finally knew why he had never been able to figure out before, the White Lotus Sect had rebelled, and the eastern side had been extinguished, but why did they still have to go around the east.

It turned out that they had already reached some kind of deal with the Japanese Kou, and although the East Road failed, they still had to fulfill the [contract], so they pretended to go around like this.

After the soldiers retreated, Xu He crossed his hand and said to Zhang Jingxian: "Lord Bingxian, you can't fall!" ”

Zhang Jingxian sighed, and said with red eyes: "I control Yangzhou, Yizhen, Gaoyou three guards, Hailing, Yancheng, and Tongzhou three under Hailing, only two days, only two days, Tongzhou soldiers are scattered, and Hailing thousands of households are disabled, how can I explain to the imperial court?" How to explain to the people's fathers? ”

Xu He said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and after the court knows the reason for this matter, it will also take the surname Gu to open the knife, my lord, at this time, if you cheer up, defeat will be turned into victory, and it will be done by the husband!" ”

Zhang Jingxian looked at Xu He steadily, suddenly stood up and bowed and said: "I, Zhang Jingxian, have lived in vain for more than 30 years, and I haven't made a clear voice You, a teenager, are sensible, Liangsheng, the current situation is all within your expectations, please teach me what to do next?" ”

Xu He groaned: "The land is not a place where the Japanese can stay for a long time, and it is impossible for them to abandon the ship, so Yangzhou and Yizhen cannot be moved lightly." Lord Zhang can quickly raise the post guard and a group of people to come to Hailing, Hailing is now an empty city, there must be no more mistakes! ”

"But if the Japanese invaders split a small group of men and horses to sneak attack from the land, how can Hailing County protect itself?"

Xu He frowned: "Please Lord Chen mobilize the people, archers, soldiers, government servants, and soldiers to defend the city, and the strong walls outside the city are clear, and I will immediately ask the second uncle to let the regiment practice into the city garrison!" ”

When Zhang Jingxian heard this, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears, fortunately he had promised Xu He to form a group to practice, otherwise he would find three hundred well-trained strong men to defend the city at this time?

"Yes, yes, this matter should be fast, fortunately you and Lord Chen took precautions, fortunately ......"
